I'm in a similar situation, the parking garage for my block of apartments is rigght under my bedroom. It's not too bad, except for one neighbour's motorcycle, where he is obviously…

I have recently returned to Firefox for my personal browsing after using Chrome since about 2014 and it works great. However... In work I'm stuck using Chrome due to the amount of …
